Since then they’ve both been fighting alongside take shelter Oklahoma protesting state politicians and their stance on shelters in schools. They want to see safe rooms in every school in the state.

“When we found out that Nichols Hills was going to be putting shelters into their school, I was so happy about it,” says Conatzer. “They are really paving the way. I really hate to see that go by the wayside.”

That’s why they were at Oklahoma City School’s board meeting, they want Nichols Hills parents to know how fortunate they are that they’re gymnasium project is being put on hold to consider including a safe room into the construction plans.

“It’s not a matter of if another tornado will come through Oklahoma,” says Legg. “It’s a matter of when and where.”

Conatzer and Legg both wish their children had something like this to protect them like a safe room that day in May.

“I think I owe it to my daughter. It’s her legacy and I don’t want to see any other children die the way they had to die,” says Conatzer. “A gym is a gym. It can double as a lifesaver. They need to take the time to consider that.”

As they decide, Conatzer and Legg hope Nichols Hills and the Oklahoma City School District remembers their Plaza Towers kids.

School board officials explained an error during Monday night’s meeting that may have caused Conatzer and Legg to think there may be opposition.

There was a procedural error with the vote at the last meeting so the board will vote again on Nov. 4.
